Chapter 729 I Don’t Want the Number of Hostages to Increase from 2 to 3
"Xiao Yue! Don't come! They want to kill you!" Before Yang Tao could finish her words, she heard the sound of her being beaten from her phone, "You're looking for death!"
Zhang Ran warned in a cold voice: "I will only give 900,000 as ransom."
Upon hearing that the ransom was less, Yang Jun stopped beating them and answered the phone breathlessly, "You dare to give me less money? Do you believe I will chop off one of their fingers?"
Zhang Ran's voice became even colder. "I've said before, corpses are worthless, and defective products are worthless too. If you hit them once, I'll give you 100,000 yuan less. My money doesn't come from the wind, so I have to spend it to get the most value for money. Don't chop your fingers off. I suggest you kill them both, so I can save the ransom."
"…I'll give you two days to raise the money, not a penny less!" The phone was hung up.
There was silence in the car. Zhang Ran suddenly opened the door and was about to get out, but someone grabbed her wrist. She turned her head and looked into Cheng Mingtai's eyes.
"They don't keep their word. They didn't release her even when Sister Luo collected 500,000 yuan. They still won't release her even if you collect 1 million yuan." Cheng Mingtai earnestly advised her to call the police. "It's obvious that they want to harm you by letting you pay the ransom alone. Don't let the person not be redeemed and you can't come back either. Call the police and let them handle it. Believe in their ability."
Half an hour later, Zhang Ran got out of the car and stood by the road watching Cheng Mingtai drive away. She turned around and got into Qiuyu's car back to the courtyard.
After arriving home, Zhang Ran closed the door and made two phone calls.
The first call was to Liu Yufei, who hung up after less than ten minutes.
The second call was made to Luo Youdi.
"Hello, it's me, aunt. I already know about Xiaoying's situation. Yang Tao was also kidnapped. Gao Yunfeng and Yang Jun planned this kidnapping together."
"Yang Jun must have told Gao Yunfeng the address of the company. He came to me and begged me to remarry him. I refused, so he colluded with Yang Jun and kidnapped Xiaoying!" Luo Youdi was hysterical and almost mentally collapsed. "These two beasts!"
"Calm down and listen to me. Yang Jun blackmailed me for one million. I have confirmed it on the phone. Xiaoying and Yang Tao are safe now..."
"One million? They've already taken the 500,000 I gave them. Isn't that enough?! Why don't they let Xiaoying go and kidnap Yangtao?!"
"Calm down!" Zhang Ran scolded loudly and waited quietly for her to calm down.
"Xiaoyue, I can't calm down..." Luo Youdi's sobbing voice was heard from the phone.
"If you can't calm down, how can I tell you about the next plan?"
Luo Youdi's voice came over the phone, trying to control her emotions and taking several deep breaths, "...you say, I'll listen to you."
"They gave me two days to prepare the ransom. Two days later, I will bring one million to redeem the person. The control in Beijing is quite strict. They probably won't dare to trade with me directly in Beijing. They will definitely play tricks on me and make me run around a few more places. If I guess correctly, they will let me leave Beijing and trade in other nearby cities or in the wilderness..."
After talking intermittently for nearly an hour, Zhang Ran confirmed again: "Did you hear it clearly? Can you do it?"
A mother is strong. "For the sake of my children, let alone such a small matter, I am willing to exchange my life for theirs. According to your plan, you will definitely be able to rescue them. Will you be in danger? No, let me redeem them instead, and you do this."
"You are in the countryside and I am in Beijing. How can we switch? Xiaoying is the one in trouble. You are not as calm as me. You will only hinder me if you go to redeem her. I don't want the number of hostages to increase from two to three."
"..."
"Yang Jun specifically asked me to go, and you can't replace me. Remember, do what I tell you to do, and don't let me down. I'm hanging up."
Zhang Ran just hung up the phone when Luo Youge knocked on the door. "Xiaoyue, open the door."
Zhang Ran walked over, opened the door, and looked into Luo Youge's eyes, which were obviously filled with tears.
